• Drive engineering excellence via code reviews, architectural guidance, and hands-on mentorship.
• Foster a high-performing team culture grounded in collaboration, continuous learning, and accountability.
• Help evolve our CI / CD processes toward continuous delivery, with an emphasis on fast, safe, high-quality deployments.
• Oversee production health of the services your team owns and implement improvements to minimize incidents.
